I am running a model with two latent exogenous variables, one observed categorical endogenous, and one latent variable interaction between the two latent exogenous variables. The link is logit, and the output gives an odds ratio for the regression of the outcome on the interaction term, but I am unsure of how to interpret this. Could you tell me what an odds ratio of 0.75 for the interaction term indicates?

which tells you how to interpret interaction models with a continuous DV. Then just change that reasoning to apply to a logodds ratio (which is what we print). and then exponentiate that logodds ratio to get your answer.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to run a probit regression model with latent EFA factors (out of the ESEM based on categorical variables). The regression model is supposed to include interaction effects of one categorical variable with the latent factors. However, if I run the analysis, I get this message:

*** ERROR in MODEL command The use of EFA factors (ESEM) is not allowed with TYPE=RANDOM.

However, I need the TYPE=RANDOM statement to define the interactions.

Is my only possible solution to calculate the interactions first (with the factor scores of the latent factors) and then use this new datatset to run the regression? Even though I would like to run the model completely simultaneously. I would really appreciate any hint or comment.

Hi Linda, thank you very much (and sorry for the two posts - I couldn't put the input into the first one). Do you think it could be an option to use the factor scores out of the ESEM then and manually calculate the interaction effect and then run the regression? I would greatly appreciate your opinion on this. Thanks again!
